	hey cd reviews - henryk gorecki - kronos quaret - string quartets 1, 2 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		the first part of gorecki’s first string quartet revolves around a burning mass of repeated chords accentuated on the occasional off beats by a solitary open fifth in a violin, sounding like a gasp of air.
		gorecki, a polish composer, is a contemporary of ligeti and penderecki as well as reich and glass.
		gorecki has been stuck somewhere in the middle, never receiving as much attention of any of the former composers.

	James Wierzbicki / Henryk Gorecki
		THE Polish composer Henryk Gorecki used to be a leader of the Eastern European avant-guard, but in the early 1960s he began a slide into obscurity from which he is just now emerging.
		Gorecki and Penderecki entered the international scene via the same avenue, the Warsaw Autumn Festival that was established almost the moment Poland shook off the cultural restrictions imposed by the Stalinist regime.
		Gorecki's new material was no longer cerebral and sparse; rather, it was intensely expressive, persistently rhythmic and often richly colored in the darkest of orchestral hues.

		Henryk Górecki was born on December 15, 1933 in Poland.
		He had his first premiere at the Warsaw Autumn Festival in 1958, and in 1976 wrote what is considered by many to be his masterpiece, Symphony # 3 ("Symphony of Sorrowful Songs"), which was scored for soprano and orchestra (in Polish).
		Due to the recent popularity of the "Symphony of Sorrowful Songs", it is not as difficult to find online information on Górecki as many other 20th century composers.

	CD Times - Henryk Gorecki
		In 1976, Henryk Gorecki continued his move away from the avant-garde movement within which his first works were lost and having hinted at it in his earlier works, finally wrote the symphony that would act as a catharsis for his feelings as regards man's inhumanity to other men.
		Unsurprisingly, Gorecki's third symphony is an oppressively dark work but it is one of the major symphonies of the last century as well as being the composer's key work.
		Gorecki's third symphony is not, as might otherwise be expected, a single piece of music that builds on a series of motifs.

	Gorecki - Symphony of Sorrowful Songs No.3 - A Good-Music-Guide Review
		Gorecki's biggest source of inspiration, however, has always been his fervent Catholicism and his respect for his Polish cultural heritage, including folk and medieval texts.
		Gorecki seems to have tapped in to a deep need of people in this most secular and uncertain times, a need for meaning, for spiritual comfort, for security.
		Henryk Gorecki has moved on from his 1976 Symphony of Sorrowful Songs, his style continuing to evolve.

	flairmedia - Henryk Gorecki: Symphony 3 'Sorrowful Songs' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		By: Henryk Gorecki, David Zinman, London Sinfonietta, Dawn Upshaw
		This album, which catapulted Polish composer Henryk Gorecki to into the international spotlight, takes texts born in pain and turns them into statements of affirmation through the use of music that ebbs and flows in mystic minimalism.
		The clear voice of soprano Dawn Upshaw, singing the Polish texts, is a large part of the success of this particular recording, but the music, contemporary without either dissonance or movie-music mawkishness, clarifies and uplifts the words.

	Amazon.co.uk: Music: Gorecki - Symphony No.3: Sorrowful Songs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		This album, which catapulted Polish composer Henryk Górecki to into the international spotlight, takes texts born in pain and turns them into statements of affirmation through the use of music that ebbs and flows in mystic minimalism.
		While one of the Amazon reviewers claims that none of Gorecki's other music resembles this, one should point out that his Miserere is just as moving, and just as slow moving, as the third symphony.
		But listen to the simplicity and spiritual quality of the first movement, the two orchestral parts of mirror each other; and the radiance of the prayer that follows, and reflect again on the dark days of the 1940s when the forces of evil rampaged throughout Europe.

		No fault of Kronos Quartet, I am sure: their playing is superb, and this is exactly the kind of thing they are good at, so if you are going to like this composition, you will probably love this performance.
		In other words, in order for those approaching Gorecki's Quasi una Fantasia to thoroughly enjoy it (and comprehend it), they must cooperate - that is, suspend skepticism and let the music exercise its hypnotic suggestion on them.

	Henryk Gorecki: A Ransom Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		His Third Symphony appears at first to be similar in style to the works of Glass and Reich, but after reflection we find that while it is a meditative work, it is definitely not about nothing.
		Through works like this one we may see life breathed back into the high culture, perhaps even the idea that high culture is worth pursuing again; that it has something worth saying.
		The power and beauty of Henryk Górecki’s Symphony #3 must be appreciated by listening to the piece, rather than by simply reading about it.

	GÃ³recki: Miserere - Henryk Gorecki , John Nelson , Lucy Ding (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Henryk Gorecki is able to achieve so much power and transcendence with so very little that his music for unaccompanied chorus stands as a metaphor for we as the global community cold achieve if we believed in the motivation that soars through this selection of music.
		Following the simplicity of this six-minute work is Goreckis first work composed for unaccompanied voices - the Psalms setting titled EUTES IBANT ET FLEBANT and is reminiscent of the mood of his now famous "Symphony of Sorrowful Songs".
		And dating back to the year of MISERERE is his setting of My Vistula, Grey Vistula, a brief but compelling setting of the folk music of Poland.

		Although these works are not without their problems- "Miserere" is half an hour long, and "Amen" and "Euntes ibant" both feature harmonies that are (to say the least) harrowing on the ear and on the mind- they are a fine selection indeed.
		However, if I were Gorecki I would be ready to throttle the producers: the recording is cluttered with background noise such as a door slamming, a heavy vehicle passing (to say nothing about the constant 'dripping' sound that comes through the music particularly early on).

	When Mateo stretches, this program soars - The Boston Globe
		Jose Mateo's recent trip to Poland has inspired one of the most powerful and heartfelt works in the Cuban-born choreographer's repertoire.
		''Presage," given its world premiere Thursday night in the season opener of Jose Mateo's Ballet Theatre, is set to music by one of Poland's most original composers, Henryk Gorecki.
		While Mateo calls his new ballet a ''humble expression" of his experience with the culture and history of Poland, this abstract work feeds off the gravity and sorrow of Gorecki's luminous score (the first movement of his Symphony No. 3), drawing from Mateo choreography of both sumptuous romantic sweep and searing, intense focus.
